President Donald Trump appeared to support law enforcement officers who take criminal justice into their own hands after U.S. marshals killed a man suspected in a fatal shooting in Oregon last month. “There has to be retribution when you have a crime like that,” Trump said.
Trump’s apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killing came after members of a fugitive task force shot and killed Michael Forest Reinoehl, 39, a self-described anti-fascist, on Sept. 3. Reinoehl was wanted on suspicion of fatally shooting a member of a far-right group in Portland, Oregon, on Aug. 29.
“This guy was a violent criminal, and the U.S. marshals killed him, and I will tell you something, that’s the way it has to be,” Trump told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, a former New York state judge, in an interview that aired Saturday.
Trump also appeared to suggest that law enforcement officers take similar action against demonstrators suspected of committing violent acts. He made his comments as protesters across the country demonstrate against racism and police brutality amid the police killings of Black Americans.
“You can’t throw bricks at guys with shields on them,” he said.
Reinoehl’s shooting death came the same day that Trump took to Twitter to call for Reinoehl’s arrest, calling him a “cold blooded killer.”
Authorities said that Reinoehl was armed and resisted arrest at the time he was shot to death. An investigation into the shooting continues.
One witness told The Washington Post that he never saw Reinoehl pull out a gun. Nate Dinguss said he saw officers pull up to Reinoehl in two unmarked police vehicles, get out without identifying themselves and immediately start firing their weapons at him.
But two other witnesses told The Olympian that they saw Reinoehl fire what they thought was an assault rifle at the unmarked SUVs after the vehicles pulled up to him.
A Thurston County Sheriff’s Office investigation has not yet determined whether Reinoehl fired, brandished or displayed a semiautomatic handgun that was reportedly found with him.
If Reinoehl threatened officers or posed a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to them, they would not need a reason to warn him before opening fire.
'apparent' to whom?
They read their own evil thoughts into his plain word
“Seems to be” and $5 will buy you a starbucks latte.
Huffington Post seems to endorse slandering President Trump.
How does the huff post feel about the “extrajudicial” assassination attempt of 2 police in Compton?
Or was that justified in their eyes?
I’m surprised they used those terms instead of just flat out accusing him of anything nefarious by completely misrepresenting what he said.
They tried to take him into custody, and he was having none
of it. The natural progression of escalation wound up with
the guy committing suicide by law enforcement.
Trump is right. You try to effect arrests of all the violent
people. If they do what this numbskull did, they’ll wind
up dead too.
What did they expect?
This idiot acts as if the feds just went in and assassinated
him. Nope.
Just another lie, coming from the Marxist media.
Imagine thinking people would care if he actually did at this point. Half the country has been on fire for what, four months? This has to stop.
Real “journalists” just make shit up, right Huff ‘n Puff?
Antifa folks say far worse thing while touting weaponry
And then do it
Trump is saying what I get warned about saying
Cwii has begun, if you do not recognize it,, and i suspect most here do not
But only one side gets to fight, the other side cant say anything and the idiot sruck in normalcy bias powers that be protect the rioters and go after those defending themselves and their homes and businesses from detructive armed mobs of marxists
Cant negotiate with these people they dont want to work through our systems ,they want to replace them with marxist socialist systems,
Its a power grab for them, they arent going to negotiate
You cant reason with them, they dont want to talk
Wake up everyone on this site to the reality of what is going on here
Whenever I see an article from Huffington Post, I also think of the photo I saw a couple years ago which showed their editorial staff (12 or so of them) sitting around a conference room table. All of them were 20-something females, presumably right out of college.
“Reinoehl was wanted on suspicion of fatally shooting a member of a far-right group in Portland, Oregon, on Aug. 29.”
Aaron Danielson was murdered in cold blood by this vermin Reinoehl. Not a shock that a lefty media type from the Huffington Puffington Post would not mention his name and referred to him as a member of a far-right group.
I totally endorse the extra judicial execution of any & all arsonists , apprehended in the act .
ON THE SPOT !
it was a good shoot
And I’m sure there are plenty of us that would be more than willing to do the honors
Works for me.
Sorry to tell you, HuffPo. President Trump aside, people are voting for Law and Order this year, which means they’re emphatically not voting for Democrats. As usual, you people have gone WAY too far. As your beloved Nancy so eloquently put it, Embrace the Suck.
